Paul Kelly - Everything's Turning To White lyrics
Your rating:
Taken from so much water so close to home Late on Friday my husband went up to the mountains with three friends They took provisions of bottles of bourbon to last them all through the weekend One hundred miles they drove just to fish in a stream And there's so much water so close to home When they arrived it was cold and dark; they set up their camp quickly Warmed up with the wiskey they walked to the river where the water flowed past darkly In the moonlight they saw the body of a girl floating face down And there's so much water so close to home When he holds me now I'm pretending I feel like I'm frozen inside And behind my eyes, my daily disguise Everything's turning to white It was too hard to tell how long she'd been dead, the river was close to freezing But one thing for sure, teh girl hadn't died to well to judge from the bruising They stood there above her thinking the same thoughts at the same time There's so much water so close to home They carried her downstream from their fishing Between two rocks they gently wedged her After all they'd come so far, it was late And the girl would keep; she was going no where They stayed up there fishing for two days They reported it on Sunday when they came back down There's so much water so close to home When he holds me now I'm pretending I feel like I'm frozen inside And behind my eyes, my daily disguise Everything's turning to white The newspapers said that the girl had been strangled to death and also molested On the day of the funeral the radio reported that a young man had been arrested I went to the service a stranger; I drove past the lake out of town There's so much water so close to home When he holds me now I'm pretending I feel like I'm frozen inside And behind my eyes, my daily disguise Everything's turning to white
